Respuesta :

Given:

The table of value of a linear function.

To find:

The linear function in slope intercept form.

Solution:

Slope intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Consider any two points from the given table.

It is clear that the linear function passes through the points (1,0) and (2,5). So, the equation of the linear function is

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-0=\dfrac{5-0}{2-1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{5}{1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y=5(x-1)[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]y=5(x)+5(-1)[/tex]

[tex]y=5x-5[/tex]

Therefore, the slope intercept form of the given linear function is [tex]y=5x-5[/tex].
